But the corona virus/Wuhan virus is still spreading. And the number of documented cases might be much lower than the actual number of cases. And it spreads without symptoms for at least 2 weeks, which makes limiting its spread (much) more challenging. The earlier you stop its spread and isolate it, the easier it is prevent further spread, and likewise, the more it has already spread, the more difficult it is to stop its spread and isolate it.
It's important to realize that the reason why it's underreported right now is because over 80% of those infected show only minor symptoms. This would lead a lot of people to coincidentally follow the advice of the CDC/WHO and stay home and drink fluids.
[...] over 80% of those infected show only minor symptoms.
Source? And wouldn't it be more likely that the majority or vast majority of infected show no symptoms? Which would cause most to not stay home like you write?

Holy shit you finally asked a good question. Now, take that question and start thinking about those people who aren't showing symptoms. Do you think they are counted in the numbers? Do you think they are factored in when you start talking about mortality rates? No, they aren't.
And wouldn't it be more likely that the majority or vast majority of infected show no symptoms?

And wouldn't it be more likely that the majority or vast majority of infected show no symptoms, especially given that infected does not have symptoms for several weeks while still being infectious before the onset of symptoms?
